Hello!
If IPv6 support is not compiled in the kernel then command
ip -6 addr flush dev eth0
will simply flush all addresses of the eth0 card. While if IPv6 is
compiled only IPv6 address is flushed. I find this a bit annoying. I
think the problem is in function rnetlink_rcv_msg() where we do:
link_tab = rtnetlink_links[family];
if (link_tab == NULL)
link_tab=rtnetlink_links[PF_UNSPEC];
So could this be changed to just returning error when link_tab is NULL
or is there something actually using the fact that non-existent
protocols behave as PF_UNSPEC?
